  • Pets not allowed

This nature house is located in the green heart of France, the Auvergne, just outside the village of Saint-Genès-la-Tourette. This former 19th-century farmhouse has been carefully restored by its current owners. The apartment (36 m²) is located in the former hayloft: clean lines, reused materials, and optimal functionality. The studio is bathed in light and features an open living space where the living room, kitchen, dining area, and sleeping area blend together to create a warm and soothing atmosphere. The spacious bed (180x200 cm) can be converted into two separate beds. Adjacent to it is a shower room and toilet, a fitness area, and a closet (26 m²). Access: via a staircase with a hatch (1st floor), which preserves the authenticity of the space but makes it less suitable for people with limited mobility. On the ground floor, there is a private entrance with bicycle storage. Who is it for? For those seeking peace and quiet, nature lovers, artists, writers, or singles. For anyone who longs for simplicity, space, and tranquility.

Nature and surroundings

La Matione (1 ha) is an ecosystem rich in biodiversity, featuring a garden, vegetable garden, orchard, pond, and stream. There are also several terraces and a pétanque court with views of the Puy de Dôme (1,465 m) and spectacular sunsets. At night, it’s still truly dark, and you can gaze at the twinkling starry sky in silence. La Matione is located at an elevation of 775 m in the Livradois Nature Park. It’s a hilly area with small-scale livestock farming and forests—perfect for hiking and biking. There’s a swimming lake just 5 km away. Local markets with regional products, charming flea markets, and Romanesque churches can be found in the surrounding area. Discover French culture in Issoire (28 km), Ambert (31 km), Brioude (43 km), Clermont-Ferrand (63 km), and Vichy (82 km). The beautiful hiking and skiing area of Puy de Sancy (1,886 m) has a cable car (70 km). In the summer, the Horizons Art-Nature route features 10 different locations here. This area is part of the 80 volcanoes in the Chaîne des Puys, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    General rating: 10 /10

    Well-equipped, clean, perfect location, plenty of shaded areas, good internet, plenty of power outlets throughout the house; the Dutch owners, who speak fluent French, are very helpful if needed

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Fully furnished home with a tasteful interior that blends in with the building and surroundings, though it’s accessed via stairs; a comfortable bed and a nice shower. Plenty of living space, with all kinds of seating areas throughout the property. All the space around you, the tranquility of the area, the fresh air… a breath of fresh air. Perfect hosts who give you complete freedom and go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. An area where you can enjoy wonderful walks along the narrow roads, where traffic is rare, and greetings are the norm. Cycling is great, if the rolling terrain challenges you.

What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
